This is a backport of the series that recently went into 5.8. Note
that the first patch is more a complete rewriting than a backport, as
the vdso implementation in 5.4 doesn't have much in common with
mainline. This affects the 32bit arch code in a benign way.

It has seen very little testing, as I don't have the HW that triggers
this issue. I have run it in VMs by faking the CPU MIDR, and nothing
caught fire. Famous last words.
These are also needed in 5.7.y, right?  If so, I need that series before
I can take this one as we don't want people moving to a newer kernel and
suffer regressions :(
The original mainline changes:

4b661d6133c5 arm64: arch_timer: Disable the compat vdso for cores affected
by ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040
c1fbec4ac0d7 arm64: arch_timer: Allow an workaround descriptor to disable
compat vdso
97884ca8c292 arm64: Introduce a way to disable the 32bit vdso

do apply cleanly to stable-5.7. Do you want me to resend them separately,
or will you pick the patches directly from mainline?
Hm, cherry-pick seems to work due to file renames, let me try this
again...
